SEEKING INFO ON TAIL GUNNER JAMES W.TURNER 303BG 427 SQUADRON

Hi all, i'm seeking any info on tail gunner James W. Turner who was in 427 squadron based at RAF Molesworth in England. He flew as part of Wilford T.Means's crew in several B17's including 'Sweet Rose O'Grady' according to the mission reports. Any information on him or his crew would be greatly appreciated, including from any relatives of the crew. I look forward to hearing from you guys!

    James W Turner is my uncle. He is alive and well, living in Manhassett, New York. Why are you seeking information regarding him? I may be able to help. Who are you that I can tell him about you?

    He was not from Kentucky. He was from New York. He was part of the crew on the bomber piloted by Means. You can e-mail me at don.frail@gmail.com
